Which is more serious, hepatitis C or hepatitis B? This is a question that we all want to know, in fact, as long as the disease, there is no which is more serious, both diseases are more serious, both liver problems, then what is hepatitis C, what is hepatitis B, what is the difference between hepatitis C and hepatitis B? Specifically which is more serious, hepatitis B or hepatitis C. There is no precise concept of which is more serious, whether infected with any kind of liver disease, as long as the patient is not treated acutely as soon as possible, its will lead to deterioration. And we all know that there is a hepatitis B vaccine to prevent hepatitis B, but because of the strong variability of the hepatitis C virus, an effective method of preventing hepatitis C has not yet been developed. The only way to prevent hepatitis C is to cut off its transmission route, which to some extent increases the chances of patients contracting it. Once acute hepatitis C is not effectively treated, it can become chronic, increasing the chances of cirrhosis and even liver cancer, so at this level, it can be said that hepatitis C is more difficult to treat than hepatitis B. Like hepatitis B, hepatitis C is also a viral hepatitis, caused by the hepatitis C virus. As for the question of whether hepatitis C is serious or hepatitis B, both hepatitis C and hepatitis B have the potential to develop into cirrhosis or even liver cancer. However, because the onset of hepatitis C is insidious, many hepatitis C patients are not discovered until their disease has progressed to the cirrhosis stage. Moreover, studies have shown that hepatitis C is more likely to develop into cirrhosis or even liver cancer. Therefore, we can say that hepatitis C is as serious as hepatitis B. Therefore, whether it is hepatitis C or hepatitis B, it is important to actively treat the disease to prevent it from deteriorating. It should be noted that there are certain differences between the treatment of hepatitis C and hepatitis B. Hepatitis C requires antiviral treatment as long as the hepatitis C virus is RNA positive, regardless of whether the liver function is abnormal or not. The actual fact is that if you can get antiviral treatment as early as possible, the chances of cure are still great. The actual hcv is a spherical virus containing a lipid shell with a vesicular membrane and a spiny structure that replicates mainly within the liver cells. It is an acute inflammatory disease of the liver caused by hepatitis C virus (hcv) mainly through the blood-borne route and a few through the close contact route, with clinical manifestations similar to those of hepatitis B. Hepatitis C is more widely distributed and more likely to evolve into chronic, cirrhotic or even hepatocellular carcinoma and other symptoms. Hepatitis C is liver damage caused by infection with the hepatitis C virus, and infection with hepatitis C is generally not easily detected, especially in the early stages, and is easily overlooked. In recent years, there has been a rising trend of hepatitis C and a high rate of cancer. The incubation period of hepatitis C is usually between 5 and 12 weeks. There are two types of hepatitis C, acute hepatitis C and chronic hepatitis C. Generally, acute hepatitis C has symptoms such as headache, fever, aching limbs, and sometimes loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal distention, pain in the liver area, and large liver. Acute is also seen in two types with jaundice and without jaundice; chronic hepatitis C can appear in varying degrees of weakness, dizziness, appetite with loss of appetite, aversion to oil, yellow urine, discomfort in the liver area, etc. Some cases of chronic hepatitis C have no obvious signs and symptoms. What is hepatitis B Viral hepatitis B, or hepatitis B for short, is a disease caused by hepatitis B virus infection of the body. There are two types of viral hepatitis B: acute and chronic. Acute hepatitis B can be self-healing in ninety percent of adults, while chronic hepatitis B varies in performance and is divided into chronic hepatitis B carriers, chronic active hepatitis B, hepatitis B cirrhosis, etc. What is the difference between hepatitis B and hepatitis C? 1, the incubation period is different The incubation period of hepatitis B is longer than that of type A, generally 6 weeks to 6 months, an average of about 3 months; the incubation period of hepatitis A is generally about 2 to 6 weeks. 2, the performance of jaundice may be different in the pre-hepatitis B in addition to the common general weakness, loss of appetite, aversion to grease, nausea and even vomiting, sometimes there can be serum sickness-like manifestations, such as urticaria, angioneurotic edema, arthralgia, arthritis, etc.; hepatitis A is stomach cold, fever, general weakness, loss of appetite, aversion to grease, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, pain in the liver area, diarrhea, urine color gradually deepened gradually to a strong tea color. In a few cases, fever, headache and upper respiratory symptoms are the main manifestations. 3, the proportion of jaundice-free type and jaundice may be different The proportion of jaundice-free type in hepatitis B is higher, up to 60% to 80%, or even higher; hepatitis A jaundice-free type is less common, the onset is slower, the performance is only weakness, loss of appetite, pain in the liver area and abdominal distension, etc., and generally recover within 3 months. The onset of hepatitis B is often slower than that of hepatitis A, which can be seen from the incubation period. 5, the clinical course may be different hepatitis A generally does not become chronic, hepatitis B becomes chronic is more common. Hepatitis B is mainly transmitted through mother-to-child transmission, while hepatitis C is mainly transmitted through medical sources. Fourth, the conclusion of hepatitis C and hepatitis B are liver problems, many people want to know whether it is more difficult to treat hepatitis B or hepatitis C, in fact, there is a fundamental difference between the two, as to which is more difficult to treat, only to say that hepatitis C is relatively better treatment, so in life we have to protect the liver, do not let the virus easily hurt the liver.
